Annual Meeting Traveling Scholarship Program

The AFSH/ASSH are proud to offer traveling scholarships to residents, fellows, and active duty military to attend the Adrian E. Flatt Residents and Fellows Conference and ASSH Annual Meeting. Each $1,500 scholarship is intended to cover registration fees, airfare and lodging. The scholarship program is funded by grants from the ASSH, AFSH, corporate donations, hand club gifts and individual donations. The Annual Meeting Traveling Scholarship Program began in 2008 and originally was open to residents, fellows and medical students. In 2011, the program was expanded to include active duty military. In 2014, the AFSH introduced the Daniel C. Riordan Scholarship Award in conjunction with the traveling scholarship program. The Riordan Award recognizes a talented resident or fellow who has a sincere interest in teaching and patient care and is selected from the pool of scholarship applicants for this special recognition.

Tip 4: Your results can be refined by using either the tabs at the top (Video, Articles/WEB, Images, JHS, Products/Vendors), or the filters on the left (Filter by Source, Filter by Format, Filter by Purpose, etc.).

Tip 5: Punctuation can enhance your search as well. Use quotes ("search term") to only include
pages with the same words in the same order. But only use this if you are looking for an exact word or phrase, otherwise you may exclude helpful results. Add an asterisk (search term*) as a placeholder for any unknown or wildcard terms. For example, C*l Tunnel would give you results for Cubital Tunnel and Carpal Tunnel. Place a question mark (search term?) for single-character wildcard matching. For example, pa?ent would give you results for parent, patent, etc. You may also use the plus sign (search + word) between words for words you must have in the results.
